Sip Cabinet Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 19, 2026. This policy describes Sip Cabinet 1.0.

Your information stays with your collection

Sip Cabinet stores your saved drinks, personal drink entries, ratings, preferences and written notes on your device. This information may be included in your device backup according to your Apple settings. Sip Cabinet does not run an account service for this release. No advertising, tracking or analytics SDK is included.

Camera and selected photos

Camera access is optional and requested when you choose to photograph a label. You may select a photo through Apple's photo picker instead. Label recognition happens on your device. Scan photos are not uploaded to a Sip Cabinet server or to an AI provider. An ordinary scan photo remains in the active session; switching sections clears that session.

If you save a drink request, the selected photo and the brand, flavor and notes you provide are saved in an exportable request file on your device. Exporting that file sends its contents to the destination you choose using Apple's share sheet. Sip Cabinet does not submit the request automatically.

Optional community ratings

Community sharing is off by default. If you enable Share My Taste Ratings, Sip Cabinet sends the catalog drink identifiers, your numeric enjoyment scores and optional numeric taste intensities to Apple CloudKit. These records are associated with a pseudonymous identifier derived from your iCloud identity so you can update and delete your contribution. Apple also maintains record creator identifiers and technical metadata. Ratings are stored in a public CloudKit database; the app displays aggregate scores and taste descriptions rather than profiles. We do not upload your name, email, written notes, camera photos or personal drink entries through this feature.

Shared ratings support community rankings and the Community source in DJ. Your private preferences and personal DJ history stay on-device. No third-party language model is used. You can read community results without enabling sharing. To contribute, sign in to iCloud in device Settings. Turning sharing off removes your shared ratings; if the network is unavailable the app records a pending deletion and offers a retry. Removing local data also removes shared ratings before completing. We retain shared ratings until you remove them or until we remove invalid or abusive contributions. Contact us to report concerns.

Free DJ allowance

A non-identifying counter of completed free DJ mixes is stored only on this device. All DJ modes share ten free completed mixes. Deleting your collection does not reset this allowance; removing the app and its local data removes the counter. No usage counter is sent to us.

Purchases

Apple processes purchases and payment information. Sip Cabinet uses StoreKit on-device to check whether your Plus purchase is active. The app does not receive payment card details and does not send your transaction history to a Sip Cabinet server. Apple's privacy policy governs Apple's processing.

Feedback and links

Feedback is optional. Your draft stays on your device until you clear it or choose to share it. If you send feedback to our support contact, we receive the content and contact information included in your message and use them to respond. App/iOS version is included only when you leave that option enabled. The app does not attach your collection or scan photos to feedback. External websites and sharing destinations process information under their own policies.

Deletion

Delete individual drinks from their detail pages, or use Set → Delete local data to remove your collection, personal entries, ratings, preferences, saved drink-request files and feedback draft from this installation. Exported copies and device backups are controlled by their respective destinations and Apple settings. Deleting data or the app does not cancel an App Store subscription; manage it in your Apple account.

We will publish changes to this policy with an updated effective date. Support correspondence is used to handle your request and retained as needed for that purpose and applicable legal obligations. To ask about, correct or request deletion of information you have sent to support, contact the email above. We cannot access or remotely delete your on-device collection; use the in-app deletion controls described above.
